  Sunday's cowardly assassination of abortion doctor George Tiller demonstrates once again that the US is not all that different from Pakistan.   One thing that these two violent societies share is having a group of rabid religious fundamentalists who are each on a jihad against those in their nation with whom they disagree, and who are ready to kill and maim their enemies without mercy or hesitation. The other thing-perhaps the more dangerous thing-that they share is a government apparatus in which certain elements are overtly or surreptitiously supportive of the jihadists, and in which other elements are cowed into silence and inaction.   In Pakistan it is the Taliban and related organizations and groups, which have the tacit support of some elements within Pakistan's military, police and intelligence services and political parties. These elements encourage, assist and protect Taliban terrorists in their attacks on the larger society.   In the US, it is groups like Operation Rescue and other militant anti-abortion groups and the violent American "jihadists" who are attracted to them, that have terrorized women seeking abortions or abortion counseling, and that have terrorized the doctors and nurses who have bravely tried to provide women with the health care they want and need, including the constitutionally-protected right to an abortion...     For the rest of the story, please go to:   http://www.thiscantbehappening.net/?q=node/320
